THEY GAVE ME MY LIFE BACK

“Mr. Piccarreto is a excellent lawyer and knows exactly what he is doing when it came to my very complicated divorce. It involved two countries with properties in both and the price was unbelievable as it was three times LESS than the first family lawyer I hired and fired. His expertise was impeccabl...e and especially superb when we got to the judge. My divorce was granted within weeks of our first meeting and could have been soon only for my X dragging his feet. His legal assistant, Lauren was beyond reproach and if I was A lawyer I would steal her away from him. She is capable of doing ten different things at one time and never makes an error with tons of paperwork to do. I was in a terrible condition when getting my divorce but the people in this firm made it look like we were walking on water. Thank you all.” sincerely, Brandy

Excellent Attorney!!!!!!! Met with me same nite I called!!!!!!

Kevin was the lead council and I wish had been the only council in my crimianl case - we made a serious error in lilstening to a friend who advised me of another attny who then was supposed to take over as lead, ended up being co council - Kevin received the same amount of funds that the c o council ...did however the difference is that he did all the work.....he believed in me, where as the co counsel did not....I wish I had stuck souly with Attny Piccarreto - once I made him aware of my disability, he was compassionate, right on top of his game, and responsive to speaking me, his client vs speaking to my husband which is what the co council did - he did not avoid me and anytime he ws in the office he came to the phone always polite even though I was often hysterical - I would recommend this attny to anyone in a serious situation - mine was family dysfuntion in which I ended up taking a plea for something I did not do - however, Mr Piccarreto believed in me from the get go and I do believe if he had remained as soul council, there would have been a different outcome...........he is courteous, kind and does not brush you off - if he is in court, his secretary will tell you, but when he is back, he comes right to the phone.......he has notes about previous conversations...........Lord forbid anything so horrible should happen to be again who in my entire 56 yrs of life have had only a dui 20 yrs ago, I would turn to this man in a heart beat - I thought he was a bit abrupt at first which is what led me to alternate council, but once he knew of my disability he completely understoood........the sad thing is that the co council did not and he once was and may still be an attorney for disability. Mr Kevin J Piccarreto gets an AAAAAAA ++++++++++++++ in my book!

Disproportionate Fee, Limited Services, No Refund Offered I am posting this review based solely on my experience as a client.

Disproportionate Fee, Limited Services, No Refund Offered I am posting this review based solely on my experience as a client. I paid a $3,500 engagement fee after seeking legal assistance during a highly stressful and emotionally vulnerable period. The engagement was executed quickly, with sign...ificant emphasis placed on the fee being non-refundable. In practice, the services provided were extremely limited. No hearing was scheduled. The matter did not meaningfully progress. The work performed appeared confined to an initial consultation, a brief filing, and minimal correspondence. The primary strategy discussed involved pursuing relief in a jurisdiction where the attorney could not continue representation. That limitation was not clearly explained at the outset and significantly affected the practical value of the engagement. When the services were no longer required, I requested a partial refund consistent with the limited work performed. No refund was offered, and no adjustment was made to reflect the actual scope or duration of services rendered. Clients seek legal counsel for judgment, transparency, and proportionality — particularly during moments of vulnerability. In my experience, the structure of this engagement prioritized fee protection over client outcome, reasonableness, or professional discretion. Prospective clients should carefully scrutinize engagement terms, ask detailed questions about jurisdictional limitations, and understand that substantial fees may be retained even if little work is ultimately performed. Based on my experience, I would not retain this attorney again. — Catrina P.
